The first comprehensive monograph focusing on the built work of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), one of the most innovative and creative architecture practices working today.
For over two decades, the pioneering, multidisciplinary Danish firm BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group has created a wide range of projects that give form to the future, standing out for their bold-yet-practical forms, elements of surprise, and people-focused solutions.
BIG Atlas offers an ambitious and all-encompassing survey of more than fifty completed projects from around the world, from an energy plant topped with a ski slope and a LEGO Museum that seems to be made out of the famous bricks to the firm’s own recently completed Copenhagen headquarters.
Spanning a rich variety of typologies, scales and materials, the featured projects are brought to life through more than 600 photographs, plans and drawings. Presented together for the first time, they trace BIG’s transformation into fully integrated design, synthesising the fields of architecture, interiors, landscape, engineering, planning and product design to advance more sustainable ways of living within our environments while simultaneously raising the quality of our lives.
Beautifully designed, oversized and spanning more than 500 pages, this definitive monograph captures the groundbreaking work of a visionary firm.
